St Mary’s 2015 Northern Reunion Dinner will take place at the Malmaison Hotel in Liverpool

People with a connection to St Mary’s College in Crosby are being invited to the school’s latest reunion event at the end of the month.

The St Mary’s 2015 Northern Reunion Dinner will take place at the Malmaison Hotel at Princes Dock in Liverpool city centre at 7pm on Saturday March 28.

The event is being organised by the Friends of St Mary’s, the organisation for former pupils, parents, staff and governors of the school.

The dinner will include a champagne reception, three-course dinner and entertainment and is the first major event under the stewardship of the new chair of the Friends of St Mary’s, former pupil and distinguished military veteran, Jonathan Cunningham MBE.

The Southport businessman has unveiled ambitious plans for the organisation including a new business network, career development support for former students and increased fundraising activity.

Mr Cunningham, who will be unveiling further details of his plans at the Malmaison, said: “We're hoping for a very good turnout at the dinner, especially among our more recent school leavers.

“There is a huge family of people throughout this country and abroad with connections to St Mary’s and we want the Friends to reach out to all of them.

“Our aim is to provide our members with an expanded range of opportunities to meet, engage with and support each other both in person and online."

St Mary’s was founded in 1919 and the school has now begun planning its centenary celebrations in four years’ time.
